Oh dang thank you. This will get me on the right track. -
I have been watching the videos on the Launchbox Youtube channel for the Community Theme Creator. Are those the videos you are referring to? I haven't seen anything yet about using templates for Wheel/Wall content in those videos. When creating a Wheel or Wall, it's very easy to have it use for example a Gameplay screenshot for the wheel/wall item. But I'm trying to figure out how to make the item be something more complex, like a screenshot, overlayed with a clear logo and maybe the game title as well and maybe even a "favorite star" graphic. When creating a wheel/wall and choosing the item type you can choose "Image", "Source" or "Template". I'm pretty sure that template is what I need here but I don't see any instruction or documentation on how to create a template to be used here.

When I open the latest Critical Zone v2 - Default theme in Visual Studio and visualize a XAML it says Some assembly references are missing. Building to restore the NuGet cache might resolve this issue. I don't see any references to this in the Launchbox Theme Creation Tutorial videos unless I missed an obvious step.

How do I create a wall of games where each game is a screenshot image but also with the clear logo on top of it? Do you have to make a template? How do you make templates in the Theme Creator?

This works perfectly thank you. -
This just downloads a file called Patreon.txt. Am I missing something here?

Is it possible to change the wall game view to be smaller pictures than the 5x3 grid? Would be nice on a big TV to fit more games on the screen. -
I'm running LB on my arcade cabinet with only MAME Arcade games on it. No consoles. So there is only 1 "platform". I'm trying to create a hierarchy of categories and playlists but don't understand the limitations fully. So if I want my top level to be general categories like "Fighting Games", "Shooter", "Platform Games" etc. and then below each "category" I want the option to split it up into further categories, for example the Fighting Games category maybe under it I have other categories like: - Street Fighter games - Mortal Kombat games - Fatal Fury games - King of Fighter games etc You can't add games to a Category right? You can only add them to a playlist? So any "subcategory" I want to create that has games in it has to actually be a Playlist right? And Playlists can't have other playlists as children right? And a category can have multiple child categories and child playlists, right? Does all this sound right? So I would have multiple hierarchies of categories that I'm navigating through until I get to a Playlists which is where I actually would pick a game to play. Right? Another thing I'm wondering, if I only have 1 platform "Arcade", how do I show this in Bigbox? I don't want the "main menu" to be "Arcade" that I have to click in. I just want to go straight into it and show it's children categories/playlists. How do I do this?

I'm new to Launchbox and trying to understand something. I have all my MAME roms imported and working. When I look up a game like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Launchbox chooses the 2 player Oceanic version as the default that is played when you launch it from Launchbox. Why is this version chosen as the "default" clone to run? For TMNT, the parent rom is "tmnt.zip", which is the World 4 Player Version X. All the rest are clones, including the 2 Player Oceanic version (tmnt2po.zip). So I'm just trying to understand how and why Launchbox sets it up this way by default. I have a 4 player arcade cabinet I'm getting ready to put Launchbox into. I'm wondering how many games I'm going to need to go and edit Metadata for and change the default to the 4 player version and also change stuff like Playmode to 4-Player Simultaneous, etc.
